Whether working full time, part time, outside the home or within, women are forever chasing that mythical, and elusive “Balance” of work and family. Although we’ve been warned that this goal may be challenging, it’s truly a deception that it is possible to achieve it at all. The expectation of grasping and sustaining that perfectly-aligned horizontal scale (as easy as aligning the stars) is totally unrealistic and a sure way to feel like a guilt-ridden failure. An exact 50/50 percentage, 30/70 or whatever fits our “perfect picture” is not what we should be reaching for.

Acupuncture is a type of ancient Chinese medicine. It has been used for thousands of years, and works with over 2,000 pressure points and energy meridians in your body. As you probably know, acupuncture uses disposable needles as thin as a strand of hair placed just below the skin to stimulate these points on your body. Treatments are usually painless. At worst, patients have reported tingling, heaviness, or a slight burning sensation where certain needles are positioned.
